I had my bypass surgery march 1/17 so for the month of February it was all shakes all the time--no cheating for me .. I ended up losing 25 lbs in a month and another 45 in the past month and a half woohoo

I lost 30 lbs pre-surgery. I gave up sweets, alcohol, carbonated beverages, and coffee 3+ months before surgery, and focused on healthy eating (protein & veggies). This helped with withdrawal headaches, fatigue, and cravings after surgery. It also helped me to begin training myself to the WLS lifestyle.

9 pounds in 10 days. The pre-op diet was a very low calorie, no fat diet. It wasn't that bad.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
